Crosswords. Most crosswords are easiest on Monday, and get harder as the week go on. I was scheduled for control room yesterday and had time to work on the NYT Monday crossword, and I was actually able to finish it! Admittedly, I cheated a little bit, but if I get 90% of the answers filled in, I allow myself access to the internet to find the solutions to the last bits. I used to be hardcore and not reference anything but my brain, but after a while the same few clues that I didn't know kept coming up. I figured I might as well 'cheat' in the name of 'learning', or else I'd just not learn for the sake of riding my self-depriving high-horse.
Otherwise, my big task of the day was to dub a Sandusky interview with Bob Costas ASAP. Usually we don't get dub requests that need to be filled the day of, or in this case the morning of, but this one had a legitimate reason. I found the SD version of that day's tape, but the interview occurred early in the 7th hour, and for some reason the tape would rewind all the way back. The tape was also wound in the opposite manner that they usually are; usually a tape at the very beginning has all the tape around the right reel, but this one was opposite. I had to find the HD version, and jump through some hoops to request a dub of that segment, but eventually the project was finished by early afternoon.
